You silenced our voice
but her picture of beauty
will never grow old...
Angels never die
you made her a martyr
to the cause of peace
and freedom,
a freedom she now knowes.
The camera shot it all
it told truth
a truth that you try to hide
but the click of a button
will show us all
what cowards do in the
name of a fraudulent goverment.
In Iran
beauty fell asleep
and only peace and truth will
awaken it.



I felt cold chills running up and down my body while reading this poem. I especially like the last stanza. Thank you for sharing your muse's passion, and for entering this contest. I'm wishing you all the best.
